[Entry III]
Said to appear at the crossing of paths or the brink of revelation, the roadrunner spirit guards travelers between thought and action. It is a messenger of swiftness, clarity, and unseen timing. Those who wear its likeness are said to find movement even when the way seems lost.

In the shimmer of heat over the desert plain, something darted between mirage and memory—too quick for the eyes, but not the heart. The Dreamwalker slowed his beast, the air rippling like thought made visible. A roadrunner crossed his path, feathers glinting like tarnished silver, a turquoise light flickering in its gaze.
It did not flee. Instead, it circled once and let out a dry, clicking call that sounded almost like laughter. The Dreamwalker understood—some spirits do not whisper; they sprint. Some truths arrive not in silence, but in sudden movement.
From the dust where its feet had touched, a small silver pendant remained, warm despite the wind. Shaped like the bird itself—slender legs, wild crest, an eye of stone that seemed to pulse with distant sky.
When he placed it around his neck, he felt something stir—an echo of motion, a memory of speed. It was not meant for stillness, this charm. It carried the rhythm of pursuit, of journeys that refuse to wait for understanding.
The roadrunner’s lesson was simple:
Move before you’re ready. Trust the wind to find your balance. And with that, the Dreamwalker pressed onward—faster this time, guided by the gleam of a spirit that never tires.
